Launching the GIS Research Innovative Teaching and Service (GRITS) Center at the North Carolina Central UniversityThis award is being used to establish the new GIS Research, Innovative Teaching, and Service (GRITS) Center in the Geography and Earth Sciences Department at North Carolina Central University (NCCU), an HBCU. The center is serving as a focal point for new research projects, faculty development, student recruitment, and curriculum development in geographic information systems (GIS) and other geospatial technologies such as remote sensing and global positioning system (GPS). Inquiry-based, hands-on instruction and opportunities for students to participate in data collection and original geospatial research is being offered through this center as part of an effort to attract and retain talented undergraduate students in mathematics, science, technology, and engineering at NCCU. Other activities of the GRITS Center include faculty development workshops, seed grants to faculty wanting to integrate GIS modules into their courses and research, support for student research using geospatial strategies, and efforts to encourage university-wide interdisciplinary integration of GIS into the undergraduate curriculum. The GRITS center is also offering outstanding undergraduate and graduate students competitive scholarships and internships. A GIS certification program at NCCU will be established as a result of this award and co-funding from the HBCU-UP Targeted Infusion Program.

在北卡罗来纳州中央大学颁发的GIS研究创新教学和服务（GRITS）中心，该奖项用于在北卡罗来纳州中央大学（NCCU）的地理和地球科学系建立新的GIS研究，创新教学和服务（Grits）中心。该中心是地理信息系统（GIS）（GIS）和其他地理空间技术（例如遥感和全球定位系统（GPS））的新研究项目，教职员工招聘和课程开发的重点。基于查询的，动手的指导和学生可以通过该中心提供参与数据收集和原始地理空间研究的机会，这是在NCCU吸引和保留数学，科学，技术和工程学领域的才华横溢的本科生的一部分。 Grits中心的其他活动包括教师发展研讨会，希望将GIS模块整合到其课程中的教师赠款，并进行研究，使用地理空间策略为学生研究提供支持，并努力鼓励GIS范围内的GIS跨学科整合到本科课程中。 Grits中心还提供出色的本科生和研究生竞争奖学金和实习。 该奖项将在NCCU建立NCCU的GIS认证计划，并从HBCU-UP目标输液计划中获得共同资助。
